UN Panel heating up conflict minerals issue again? Thomsom Reuters recently put out a story noting that a confidential report by the United Nations says that traders in Rwanda are profiting from tantalum smuggled across the border from mines in eastern Congo.
I feel the issue of conflict minerals has not disappeared and that because of the Dodd-Frank Bill there will be more news regaring the subject. That could good for companies with deposits of tantalum in conflict free areas.
